ASAP Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.

y=2/3x + 9; (-6, 5)

Respuesta :

Answer:

 y = - 3/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

 m = - 3/2 ( use the opposite reciprocal of the slope given)  Perpendicula lines have opposite reciprocal slope

2.  Find b by plugging in the m and one of the points given into y = mx + b

   5= - 3/2 ( - 6 ) + b

    5 = 9 + b

      - 4= b

3. Write the equation using the m and the b you just found

 y = - 3/2x - 4
